Forum :: Lounge :: EO Dialogs

I am working on a client remake(don't ask any questions about it yet :P) and I am at the part of rendering dialogs.

I was going to have an array of dialogs, so you could add/remove dialogs anytime you wanted, but now that I have thought about it. Does EO every have more than one dialog up at once?

For those that don't know what a dialog is, this includes: Quest dialog box, Friends list, ignore list, hair style change, shop menu, any messages(like the Hello H4x0r one).

Anything that pops up in EO would be considered a dialog.

Can any of you think of a situation where more than one dialog box pops up in EO?

Yes,  the paperdoll can be pulled up with any dialog. Then ontop of that you can pull up a 3rd dialog by pulling up the help menu. Then a 4th as the Friend/Ignore list menu.

Heres a screenie : 

List of Dialogs

1. Ananas's Cops and Robber class selection (Its under the help menu)
2. Endless Help menu
3. Paperdoll
4. Friend List Menu

There can only be 1 type of dialog at once.

Alright thanks. I think I know what I can do. I can have an array of dialogs when they're ingame, but when they're in one of the menus(Main menu, create account, or character selection) I will just have one.

I am both ways currently. I am leaning towards no since this client will be a major inspiration on any future games I make. I might release it to one or two people, but that's it.

K, i dont think you should release the source. Only a few 10s of people would even under stand it and anyone that doesnt will making useless posts on how to edit it.

Yeah, probably would just release it to the major servers who can do something with it. If I don't release it, then what am I going to do with a whole client source but no one to share it with :P I don't have a server to use it with.

i think its great that people are looking into alot of differant aspects of improveng and makeng many more options for the servers and the basic gameplay altogether. with adding multi windows and differant triggers to the dialog boxes, there can be so many more things.

i hope you guys keep at it, and i think you all have just to begin to scratch the surface of what is possible!
